I wouldn't worry about the BIL right now. I'd focus on staying sober in early sobriety, especially during the holidays.
Why are you deflecting to all these other family members right now? Is it to take the focus off yourself?
Hi Soberpotamus, I'm still pretty focused on myself. But I don't have much to report on myself and last time I did, I set off quite a dust up. I'm not intentionally re-directing to others, but things are messed up right now with family, and of course Holidays are when family is supposed to "unite". It goes pretty deep, last nights conversation with my mother was borderline disturbing. As was my conversation with my BIL.
